I was 12 and had no idea what sex was or where kids came from. Boy I liked did, but didn't quite explain it. It was a VERY uncomfortable experience for me. Ended up giving birth at 13 and got engaged to the same guy at 19.

My birth control failed. I had a seriously upset stomach for a few days which weakened its effectiveness. As I had not thrown up, it didn't cross my mind that there might be a problem. I'm the kind if person who scoffed at others who got preggo on the pill.

My boyfriend at the time was furious and thought I'd tricked him. He told me he'd kill himself if I didn't abort. I felt awful and confused. I regret that decision. I'm pro abortion but for me it had left a scar that I don't think will heal. Now I am trying to start a family and struggling. Real life karma?

Sounds like a real difficult situation, use your community resources and support system. And I didn't learn anything about how birth control pills can be tampered with in Nursing school, but did you take the pills as directed? I'm not sure if an upset stomach would be the cause. I truly hope the best for you.

I took it as directed. For 1 week my stomach was so upset that I expelled everything I ate within 30 minutes. At the time, the doctor thought that it may have weakened its effectiveness as it may bit have been absorbed. It's unsettling to hear your doubt - this was my boyfriends reaction and I ended up feeling so guilty like it was my fault that I aborted.

I think the most common is failed pill. When you're on the pill a lot of things can make it less reliable (e.g., booze, antibiotics). People don't think to double up (use a condom) when these things are in your system.

I was told it would be extremely difficult for me to ever get pregnant, if I even could at all. I was put on a birth control pill that was packed with estrogen to try and make my body have a menstrual cycle. After 2.5 years of having sex while on the pill, it finally happened. The second time I got pregnant, my birth control was recalled. I talked to a lawyer about suing the company. Turns out that if you live in Michigan it's pretty much impossible to sue a company for something like that.After planning my life around never having kids, I'm now a stay-at-home-mom...
